Nursery children at Cottingley Primary School in Leeds were taken to a world beyond their wildest dreams recently, and they didn't even have to leave the school building! Staff had great fun transforming the school hall into an imaginary world over a weekend with the help of students from Leeds University and the support of local businesses.
The aims of the project were to offer all children, from nursery to Year 6, a multi-sensory experience that would motivate them to work imaginatively and inspire rich use of language. The project was also planned to coincide with World Book Day and nursery staff decided to introduce children to the idea through the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.
